Falco → SIEM export patterns

Jan 1, 0001

Definition

Falco is an open-source runtime security tool that monitors system behavior to detect suspicious activity. It can be integrated with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems to export detected events for further analysis and correlation. This integration allows organizations to leverage Falco’s real-time threat detection capabilities within their broader security monitoring and incident response workflows.

  syslog_output:
    enabled: true
    host: siem-server
    port: 514
    protocol: tcp

Insecure Settings Example

falco:
